Glen was transferred to the Chronicle editorial section from the comp room in 1992. He worked initially as a racing sub-editor, sport sub-editor and paginator. He worked as a fill-in racing and sport writer during that time before moving into writing full-time.

DARREN Rolfe claimed a special place in the Tour Of Toowoomba history manuscript when he swept to a home-town win in Saturday's event fourth stage.

Rolfe became the first Toowoomba-based rider to claim a podium finish in the tour's three-year history with his success in the 117km New Hope Group Road Race.

Rolfe was cheered home by family and friends - including his pregnant wife Olivia - when he arrived at the Glenvale criterium circuit finishing line from Oakey via Mt Tyson in a time of 2hrs 42mins:02.
